EventSensor Reporting
EventSensor Reporting (formerly known as Contact Mirroring) is the feature where a unit can transmit/receive
EventSensor (ES) data to/from other units. When transmitting, you can select which physical ES’s should report their
data, and one IP address to report to. When receiving, you can configure the unit to monitor an ES as if it were
attached to the unit with a cable, when it is actually attached to the unit only with a TCP connection. Put simply, this
feature allows a device in one location to affect an action at another location even though the two devices are not
physically connected.
A unit can monitor data from EventSensors on any medium that can carry a TCP connection: Ethernet, ADSL,
POTS/Wireless modems, SitePath, etc.
In addition to the menu option you saw on the Sensor Events Menu, there is this menu option in the Networking
Settings menu:
G) EventSensor Reporting Settings
SiteBoss 530 EventSensor Reporting Settings
A) EventSensor Report To IP [0.0.0.0]
B) EventSensor Report To Port [4000]
C) Enable EventSensor Reporting Host [OFF]
D) EventSensor Reporting Host Port [4000]
Options A & B are configured on the client unit
. A is where you enter the IP address of the host S530 and B is
where you select a TCP port to use.
Options C & D are configured on the host S530
. C enables it to receive EventSensor reports from the client unit,
and D is where you select the TCP port it should be listening on.
Obviously Option B on the client unit should match Option D on the host S530.
When everything is properly configured, the sensor at the client (Site A) will appear in the Sensor Events Menu of the
host (Site B), with (REMOTE) following the Alive indicator for that sensor:
Setting Keys
There are 4 global settings that control TCP transmitting/receiving:
net.esreporting.listen.enable
net.esreporting.listen.port
net.esreporting.connect.server
net.esreporting.connect.port
There is one per-ES setting that controls whether the ES reports its data:
event.sensor.reporting.enable
